A few issues with my Sure Signal V2

I bought a 2nd hand sure signal and it's a great device as my new home has a poor signal without it.

However I have been having a couple of issues with it.

1. Sometimes it just drops out. It turned on and I have a full signal and all of a sudden I loose it. Sometimes the 2nd of the 3 lights flashes and sometimes it is lit. Right now the SS is on, the light is solid and I have no 3G.

2. I was on a call with my sister and she could barely hear me when calling through the SS. I turned it off, called her back and I was as clear as day.

My broadband connection Is through Plusnet and it's around a 5MB download speed.

Hi deejayburnout

 

Your traceroute looks fine to me and the IP address is on the whitelist.

I'm unable to see your speed and ping tests, can you do these again please?

I can also see that your Sure Signal has updated today, can you confirm if everything is working?

 

Thanks

 

Sukhi

my speed test from this morning is

 

46ms ping

down 6.58mbps

up 0.38mbps

 

ping test is

 

66ms ping

1ms jitter

unable to test packet loss.

 

i made a call last night via SS and my wife could barely hear me again. i then left to go out, came back and it wouldnt connect to SS.

Hi deejayburnout,

 

Thanks for the information, all detail are fine.

 

I’ve checked your serial number and can see that a location change has been detected.

 

I’ve updated the system to remove the message.

 

I’ve also noticed that your Sure Signal is running an older version of firmware.

 

I’ve requested that this be updated for you.

 

The process may take a while so, for the next 24 hours, don’t unplug or reset the unit.

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

Thanks for getting back to me

 

i will keep it on until it updates.

 

i got a text today saying it has moved, even though its not.

 

i will keep you posted
